October 14 marked the day of another productive meeting of your Housing Team. In attendance were Linda Cook, Ervin Miller, Tim Stockton, Diane Rheos, Dave Smith, Kamron Furlow and Mike Smiley. While much of the 1 1/2 hour meeting was dedicated to preparation for the coming interview of NHA (Northwest Housing Authority) and Dream Development, additional positions of responsibility were introduced and leadership volunteered to fill the needs. In anticipation of an expanded outreach for the committee, coordinator/liaison positions were taken. Tim Stockton will coordinate with the Conference Board of Trustees who are tasked with overseeing the Conference properties. Cameron Furlow will coordinate with the conference consultant, Brett Pinder, who will be facilitating our congregational discussions on housing details in the month of November. Look for a detailed report of those meetings in next weeks newsletter. Mike Smiley will be the go-between with NHA and Dream Development and St. Paul’s.
With NHA and Dream Development submitting a joint response to our RFQ (Request For Qualifications), your team has vetted NHA, Dream Development, property management companies and architects. Using the BBB, references, Google searches and various other avenues of research, we have found that all companies and entities involved with NHA and Dream Development are highly recommended with flawless records of operation. We look forward to interviewing them on October 25th. Look for a report of that interview in the November Epistle.
